I can\'t find a mini.

That\'s nothing out of the ordinary - sometimes you just can\'t find what you are looking for, especially if you haven\'t used it for a long time. I, however, lost it in about 4 minutes.

I got my Anima: Tactics minis out to play with Cheryll; among them was a half-painted Dark Chesire. I set him down on my table.
Now I was about to finish painting him and he\'s gone, just like that. Can\'t find him anywhere in my room or in the basement where my painting table resides. Chesire is simply gone. Now my mother has some great advice: \"Have you looked everywhere?\" No. I haven\'t - I would have found him if I had looked everywhere. However, I did look in interesting places (I disassembled my speakers because hey, he could be in there. He wasn\'t.) and also many obvious ones. I fine-combed the whole floor. I very nearly took my table apart. I looked inside of boxes I have never seen before. I went through the pockets of trousers that were already out of style in 1990. My mother swears she did not take him (but what else could I expect from her, she NEVER rearranges any of my stuff, it does that on its own) and Cheryll did not mistakenly bag him either. I feel that I have exhausted nearly all options of ever finding except for asking you lot for advice. What place could I have put a mini that has eluded me for about 10 hours now?

I want my Dark Chesire back :( Well, time to look in the freezer...

Take a picture of where you remember putting it last and post it here.
Artists are very observant, and you may be too close to the problem.

I don\'t think that will help, but alright, I\'ll do it:



I masked a note with a telephone number but apart from that everything is there, including my fluffy little piggy and my tower o\'stuff (patent pending).
Have fun.

Did you move the table out to see if it\'s trapped betwen the edge of the tabel and the wall? I have a feeling it\'s Hiing back there somewhere near the corner and the leg of the table.

Maybe that\'s because I found something I lost in the spot just yesterday. Can\'t hurt yo look though. Good luck.

Do you have a cat? One of mine ended up under the refrigerator the other day, luckily I caught the little bugger swatting it there or I\'d still be wondering.

Wow, and I thought I was messy and forgetful. :drunk:

Humm, oh yeah, I am messy and forgetful. :drunk:

I think it most likely that it got caught in your underwear and was then taken by the Underpants Gnomes. :drunk:

Tell the Boggarts that it was a good joke, turn round three times and he\'ll be back.
Leave some cheese out for them tonight.

Course, I got a couple of camera lenses on mine . . . . .

Just keep an eye out for the grin. It\'s sure to come back eventually

That\'s my work desk. I do university work there. Also, what do you mean, crap? The desk is in its maximum state of cleanliness!

Lizcam, there\'s no way the mini can be trapped there - there\'s about 50cm space between the table and the wall. The bugger is not lying on the floor either.

It\'s a one-piece pewter mini with some paint on it. I have no cat but I do have a mother (who claims to never have seen the mini) and I\'m pretty sure I\'ve killed, skinned and eaten all underpants gnomes in my house quite some time ago.

I suppose I could have another look into my soldering station... gotta be somewhere.

And airhead, just to spite you I\'ll keep searching after I\'ve found the mini. Take that!

Keep looking!!

That way he will not have been in the last place you looked, and we can prove that theory as bogus!!

Don\'t give up! Keep at it!

This might just be a language barrier thing, but . . .

Under your closet? Is there a hole in the floor? An air vent? Or do you just mean on the floor?

Roger got it.

By the way, just as I said I have kept on looking under my desk and in my spare PC. This disproves airhead\'s theorem and gives me the warm fuzzy feeling of being a smartass.
